Toss the vegetables in the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Meanwhile, bring the chicken stock to a simmer in a large stockpot. Add the chicken, herbs, and salt and pepper. Cover and cook while the vegetables are roasting, about 15 minutes. For raw chicken breasts, cook for about 45 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and tender enough to shred with a fork.

Add half the vegetables to the soup, and place the other half in a blender. Make sure to put all of the onions quarters into the blender. Puree the vegetables with the 1 cup of water.

Add the vegetable puree and baby spinach to the soup. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the spinach is wilted and the soup is hot. Adjust seasonings to your taste.

In an 8-qt stainless steel pan, over medium high heat, heat the juice until warm. Add the sugar and heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Increase the heat to medium high and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Stir in the entire contents of both pectin pouches. Return the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. Quickly skim off any foam and immediately ladle the hot jelly into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe there jar rims and threads and apply screw rings. Process half-pint jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, pint jars for 15 minutes. This is a tangy jelly with an intense taste. Yield: 7 to 8 half-pint jars

Canning Guidelines

I am a home cook that collects recipes from all over the Internet. Not all the canning recipes here are USDA approved. I assume you know the basics of canning safely. If you do not, please learn before attempting any canning recipes here or elsewhere. A good place to start is freshpreserving.com. Another excellent resource is Granny Miller. I do not write every single step of the canning process in every recipe. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. I live at 1-1000 ft elevation, so the recipes are written for that elevation. Adjust accordingly for your elevation.
